GENETIC SCREENING: Genetic Screening is the testing for genetic disorders. Most commonly, prospective parents or an embryo or fetus is tested when a specific genetic disorder is suspected. In such a case, genetic screening begins with a complete medical history of both parents. If the parents decide to conceive or have already conceived, diagnostic tests can be performed on the fetus to detect various genetic disorders. In the case of a positive finding, the parents can elect to abort the fetus.

If you're not sure whether you should be genetically tested or not, consult a gentics counselor.
Reproductive genetic screening can help families reduce the likelihood their children are born with hemophilia using advanced reproductive technologies including:
Implantation of embryos that are not affected by the mutation using invitro-fertilization techniques.
Artificial insemination using donor sperm/eggs of non-carriers.
Artificial insemination using sperm carrying only X chromosomes.
